Peter van Burgel from AMS-IX is a guest at our ATHENE Distinguished Lecture Series. In his presentation, he addresses the question of whether securing vital infrastructure is a public or rather a private matter. AMS-IX, as a neutral, member-based association, operates several interconnection platforms around the world. In The Netherlands, AMS-IX became part of vital services in 2017 and has been working with the Dutch government keeping The Netherlands connected and safe.
